I'm a nerd. The kind of nerd who reads comic books, watches comic
book movies, wears superhero t-shirts, plays computer games, and to
this day, still has light saber battles with my little brothers. I
can talk to women, though. I'm not that nerdy.

I like video games, but I don't play as often these days. I'd love
to find someone to play along with from time to time.

I've been in college for over a decade now. 1 bachelors and 5
associates degrees later, I still haven't found what I'm supposed
to do in this world... I'm working on that. I'll get there. In the
mean time, I'm just trying to make my way, live the best that I
can.

I think guns in movies and on tv are hilarious. Especially
excessive gunfire.

I don't have any kids, but not because I don't want any. I love
children. I am without a doubt, a grown up child. I can play with
toys and watch cartoons and jump in puddles and kick rocks with the
best of them, still. I think I'd make a really good father one of
these days. Hang out with me, and you'll see.

If I could have chosen my life, I would have been born on a temple
somewhere in China, practicing Kung Fu all of my days.

I've never been married. Also not because I don't want to be,
though. I've had a few serious girlfriends, but I suppose I'd say
I've just been responsible enough not to go down that path without
knowing for sure I'm making the right decision. I'd rather not deal
with a divorce if I don't have to. There are so many divorces
happening these days, it makes one wonder if anybody truly loves or
even believes in it anymore. I do...

I'm scared of spiders. Like, beyond terrified.

I listen to music and read books and watch tv; in some cases more
than I should, and in others, not as much as I should. And in some
cases, I do all three, but with all the wrong stuff. *sigh*

My favorite food is breakfast cereal. All of them. Even the healthy
kinds.

I love to write; I think I'm fairly good at it. Again, though, one
of those things I don't do as often as I should. What I probably
need is someone to keep me on task, seeing that I'm watching the
cooler tv shows and reading the right books and listening to the
best music AND making sure I'm writing; a personal trainer of
sorts, as it were. I'll accept applications...

I'm a huge Disney fan. I have an annual pass to Disneyland.

I've never been big into sports. I played a few in high school; I
was a wrestler, a fencer, and a gymnast. I just never got into
watching sports or going to games or competing. The most interested
I get is when the Olympics come around. Other than that, I could do
without them, to be honest.

I'm generally a very positive person.

I'm not religious. Not at all. I'm very much a scientist at heart,
and I believe in what can be proven. For me, there is no evidence
or viable basis to believe in an intelligent creator who controls
our destinies. I say this not to deter potential connections here,
or to upset or alienate those with religious tendencies, but more
to serve as a basis for you to judge our dating efficacy. To be
fair, I use YOUR religious indication to make my own determination
as to our potential for getting along.

I dislike smoking. Smokers need not apply.

I'm active. I like to work out as much as I can. I'd really like to
get out and see more of California (go on hikes, bike rides,
swimming, etc.) and it'd be ideal to find a partner to encourage me
to do these kinds of activities with her. So with that in mind, I'd
much prefer in a partner someone who embraces an active lifestyle
as well. Healthy eating habits are also strongly preferred.

I like Star Wars AND Star Trek. Yes, it IS possible to like them
both, contrary to what you may have heard. Feel free to have me
explain.

I'm not into the night club scene, or partying or drinking
excessively these days. I had my college fun; although I can be
convinced on occasion.. BUT.. My idea of a wild night anymore is
staying in, ordering a pizza, and watching a scary movie on a
Friday night. *Note: I'm still in bed by midnight..

Love animals. I'm a dog and a cat person. And also all other
animals too.

I'm pretty shy by nature. I try my best to open up, but the truth
of it is I'm just introverted. Strangely, though, I love to make
people laugh. I actually try pretty hard to do so. When I do come
out of my shell, I make friends fairly easily.

I dislike cold weather. I've had bad experiences with the cold, and
stories to prove it.

I care a lot about the Earth, and I try my best to do my part to
leave it in better shape. I never litter; in fact, I'll pick up
trash if I see it on the ground, most often. I recycle, I ride my
bicycle as much as I can, I have reusable grocery bags, I conserve
water, I plan my driving to do as much as I can all at once, etc.
It'd be great to meet someone who cares about these things
similarly.

I have color-changing eyes; they shift depending (usually) on the
clothes I wear. Mostly they're grey.

I love to travel! Well... Unfortunately I haven't done a lot of it,
but I have desire in my heart! There's so much of this world left
for me to see, and I do so want to see it. To quote a friend of
mine, "I think I'm quite ready for another adventure!". Maybe we
can go together...!

I guess I should try and be a little more specific.. I love
fiction/fantasy/science fiction/historical mystery type books. I
love learning about places and wonders like the pyramids of Egypt
or the nazca lines. I can't really choose between Marvel and DC
because I don't see the need; I'm glad I live in a time where I get
to enjoy all of these great comic books. I also love self-discovery
and realization books, like The Alchemist.

Im a huge movie buff, and I absolutely love going to the movie
theater. The entire experience is mystifying for me; the escape
into another world and absorbing and being swept up in the
narrative therein. But even simpler than that, the buying of the
ticket, the dark theater, the popcorn, previews, the larger picture
and better sound.. It's all awesome!

I love adventure movies, and I wish there were more of them. To be
clear, adventure movies can be characterized by a fantastic mixture
of action and suspense and mystery and romance; a great example
being the Indiana Jones movie franchise, hence it being among my
favorites, because of this, and because it combines some of my
greatest interests; archaeology and history, and action and high
adventure. What's not to enjoy?

the current state of our Earth, and how the world needs a superhero
now more than ever.

superheroes. Star Trek. How can I abuse science to give myself
super powers and still be a good guy? Why can't the present be more
utopian like Star Trek if so much of our current technology is
derived from or based on Trek ideas?

Space and time. How incredibly awe-inspiring our universe is.
Everything that exists, and everything that I don't know about that
exists anyways.

how I can convince someone to give me lots of money so I can travel
the world and not work.

women. Why am I on a dating site? Am I too weird to attract a
decent girl? Will I ever have kids? Will I be by myself for the
rest of my life? Sex.

where I'm going. How I'm going to get there. Who will be there to
help me, because I know I will need it...

at home. I am very much a homebody. I rarely go out anymore, I'd
much prefer to just stay in (or is this simply a cover for my
secretive heroicism...?). With that in mind, I'd probably match
well with someone who is likewise. I'd like to add, however, that
I'm not opposed to spontaneous adventures and explorations;
stepping out of my comfort zone is welcomed and refreshing. This is
to say that my homebody nature should not be a deterrent for those
who prefer to own the night. I'd be just as willing and inclined to
chase that rainbow with you and see where it takes us. But, if
given the power to decide, I typically opt to stay in, just so you
know.

If you've actually read this far, you should probably say
something. It would be a waste of your time to not after all of my
rambling.

***ADDENDUM***

you are an attractive, "talented"..., sexy nerd girl who is into
nerdist contraband (i.e. Comic books, video games, superheroes,
manga, anime, gaming, etc.) and who will go to comic conventions
and cosplay with me, and generally support, nurture, and flourish
and expand my nerdy ways, and her own, through nerdery and the
above. Please be about this life ^^^
